This is the one article that even talks about the Neal knee beyond a passing reference. Yes what Thornton did was bad, but kneeing a defenseless player in the head is reprehensible and right up there with what Thornton did, and would be the big story here if it weren't for Orpik getting knocked out. At least Thornton…

Yup. Fuck that guy.

So.... I guess that's his go-to shit talk? Huh.

I am pretty sure that the biggest difference between Canada and the U.S. has nothing to do with lacrosse, hoser.

It was "I have been alive since probably.... 1988."

A little of both....

Yup, and I'm sure that if Middlebrooks had gotten on we'd have seen Napoli there.

Are you referring to the baseline between 2nd and 3rd? Yes, Middlebrooks is obstructing THAT baseline.

O RLY?

I've seen it a couple times, think it's up to the timekeeper who's usually a local volunteer.

Agreed, and I don't think a high school goalie needs deadspin shaming him by implying otherwise.

In high school there's typically a game clock that all can see.

Not to mention that Josh Gordon is also pretty damn good.

I like to think that the Boston media is ultimately responsible for that.

Any mention of Lapierre requires a reminder of this:

It wouldn't be a very Leitch thing to say.

I think Delmon Young is pretty bad as a fielder. Of course, that would have made more sense than giving up the DH (which I didn't know was a thing).

Pretty sure he was kidding.

Yeah, plus Denver might have covered (got it at -7) and that would have been way awesome for me.

And while that conversation is fun—I guess?—it's not essential. It doesn't mean anything. The Breaking Bad finale is a complete experience on its own. It doesn't need a fucking HOT TAKE to give it full closure.
